Nice photos - right place(s) at the right time(s).

And it explains why I couldn't find them on ADSB when I heard they were going from Shawbury to Biggin Hill!!

Shame that the white truck was blocking the outside lane, therefore stopping anyone from passing :-(

As they are going to Australia, I suspect shrink wrapped.

I guess if they shrink them they should easily fit in one plane. :lol:

Plenty of room to get around that as long as you have a heavy enough right foot :lol:

Not if you check pic 8 and 9 - he is stradling both lane 1 and 2 to stop overtaking :-(

And subsequently in the outside lane as are two of the three following vehicles. Or were you actually there to witness what happened? Looks like a junction to me so possibly pulled over to allow joining traffic to pull out - who knows unless they were there?

Anyway great set of images to record the movements.

Thanks for sharing your captures :thumbs:
